I agree with Stephen that as technology suppliers you're in a key position to add value to both your TourCMS operators partners and to the websites that sell their products by providing distibution functionality that simplifies the data and the acquisition process. At Tourabout we've been acquiring and aggregating tour data directly from 150+ different tour operators globally from smaller local to large multinational and global suppliers for a number of years. Now with close to 30,000 tours one of the main things we found that adds to the complexity is the quite varied stages operators are at technically. They have very different data formats and structures as well as a wide variety of activity type and category type descriptions that exist for sometimes quite similar products. Anything that can be done to streamline, simplify and standardise the data and the process is a welcome addition and I look forward to seeing more. Nice post Kevin and congrats to Alex and TourCMS!

The marketplace is a brilliant idea and one that you know I have been advocating for the industry for a long time. When we launched RezgoConnect, the Rezgo supplier & reseller marketplace a year ago, it was with the hope that other leading providers like TourCMS would follow. Anything we, as technologists, can do to make distribution for small providers easier and more efficient is good for the industry as a whole. I look forward to following your success with this new initiative. Congratulations Alex and TourCMS!
